The Alchemist

  The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho       Today I went to library after lunch to submit my old book and issue some new ones. Most of the books in our institute's library are utter crap. You can barely find a good book, So when I could not a good new book I winded up issuing an old one The Alchemist. It is a wonderful book from Paulo Coelho, how I know it is a wonderful book? because I have read it twice before. The reason why I started reading again is that I love it has a nice story most of all the quotes which the author uses are amazingly incredible. I am gonna write some of those quotes here simultaneously when I am reading it.   # "Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own".   # what is the world's greatest lie? It is" that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate".   # "When you want someth

The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak

The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak Just right now I finished reading this book, honestly I really don't know what I am feeling right now,  I am a little confused and lost. It had so many lessons and so many good stories. I completely fell in love with the book and the writer. I could not understand though, whether all these events were true or not. It has been written considering every individual's insight about the events which take place along the story. It has a lot of spiritual lessons to teach us about almost everything, and of course those forty rules love of shams of Tabriz were mind blowing. I had read about Rumi and Shams during my high school but now I realize I knew nothing about those two spiritual individuals. Now that I think I had misunderstood the meaning of love my whole life, not that I understood from this book the meaning of love but I learned that I need to read and search about meaning of love a lot more. Infatuation of Rumi towards Shams to Tabriz w

WISH I COULD TELL YOU by Dorjoy Datta

Wish_I_Could_Tell_You_by_Durjoy_Datta      This is my sixth Novel from Durjoy Datta, I started reading it almost two weeks ago. Then I started my next book "The forty rules of love" by Elif Shafak, I thought it would be more fun if I study both of simultaneously like a couple of pages from one and a couple of topics from other. But before I know it I finished  it completely. It was such an incredible story that I almost forgot the passing of time. I am not sure I had read even 5 pages of this when I was reading the earlier one.         So far I am in page 114/250. It is very shallow in compare to "The Forty Rules of Love". I hate the way these Indian novelist write English, Specially names and using entirely Hindi words in some places. It is super annoying. It did not bother me much in the past when I read a dozens of their Novels but now I guess it does. The best thing for me to do would be to stop reading entirely Novels written by Indian authors.
